OpenAI joins Anthropic in filing for US public listing
OpenAI has submitted a confidential filing for a U.S. initial public offering as investors seek exposure to the artificial intelligence boom. The company joins rivals Anthropic and SpaceX in a pipeline of high-profile listings that could see total IPO proceeds reach a record 160 billion dollars in 2026.
OpenAI filed for a confidential initial public offering on Monday evening, targeting a valuation of up to $1 trillion. This move follows a similar confidential filing by rival Anthropic earlier this month as investors seek exposure to the artificial intelligence boom. These high-profile listings could drive total 2026 U.S. IPO proceeds to a record $160 billion.
Goldman Sachs forecast that marquee tech listings will push market proceeds to the $160 billion mark this year. This surge follows a period of pent-up demand for high-profile private companies. Wall Street expects 2026 to serve as a breakout year for new listings.
